Vertical Die & Mold Splitter
The SANTSAI VDS Series Vertical Die & Mold Splitter is designed for the safe separation, inspection, maintenance and assembly of heavy dies and molds.
The machine separates the upper and lower mold halves vertically, reducing manual handling and improving operational safety during mold inspection, cleaning, repair and component replacement.
Three standard models are available with maximum die and mold capacities of 6, 8 and 15 tonnes. Custom platen dimensions, opening heights and load capacities are also available according to the customer’s mold specifications.
Key Advantages
- Vertical separation of upper and lower die or mold halves
- Maximum mold capacities from 6 to 15 tonnes
- Heavy-duty steel frame for stable operation
- Large machined platens for oversized molds
- Controlled hydraulic lifting and lowering
- Convenient access for mold inspection and maintenance
- Reduced dependence on overhead cranes
- Safer mold opening and closing
- Suitable for injection molds, die-casting molds and stamping dies
- Customized platen size and opening stroke available
- Optional mold clamping and safety systems
- Easy operation through an industrial control panel
A Safer Way to Separate Heavy Dies and Molds
Opening a large mold by crane or forklift can be dangerous and inefficient. The mold may tilt, move unexpectedly or become damaged during separation.
The SANTSAI VDS Series provides a controlled method of lifting the upper mold half vertically while the lower half remains securely supported on the lower platen.
This allows operators to inspect, clean and repair the internal mold area without unsafe manual handling or repeated crane operations.
How It Works
- The closed die or mold is placed on the lower platen.
- The mold is positioned and securely clamped.
- The upper mold half is connected to the upper platen.
- The hydraulic system lifts the upper mold half vertically.
- The mold opens to the preset inspection height.
- Operators perform inspection, cleaning, repair or component replacement.
- The upper platen is lowered under controlled conditions.
- The upper and lower mold halves are aligned and closed safely.
